Any word of a fall tour?

[Babbs234]

A larger tour seems like it has more financial risk to it than reward at this point There is nothing a label/management company likes less than losses I'd guess.

If they keep seeing -some- money rolling in from their cut of song royalties and feel like pushes for high profile invites are well recieved , the takers are grateful to have had Haley afterword, and Haley is making some of her own too... well, I think its much easier for them to stick with her than if they spent buddles of $ and calling in favors on tours and single promotions that didn't pan out financially well.

Being with a big label will help Haley get that extra push behind her songs/album when they do start to get a following from things like placments or a more viral growing interst... I'd rather them continue to think "potential" and "hmm, we're making some money.. this might still have some life potential" rather than... "we threw what we could at it and failed.. .. cut our losses"

I understand where your coming from,Tom. But shows like, Real Music Live, I heard Haley only played with John Notto. From the pictures i saw, the other bands had a full band with them. Wouldn't Haley make a bigger impression to the general public with a full band on occasions like this? I love John Notto and Keith but she's only played with a full band like 3 or 4 times.
Just sayin

I think Haley had a full band at RML. It was shot in Anaheim, CA so no big travel costs. John included Courtney and the drummer in a related tweet and another band's drummer made mention of Haley's "band." Someone may have filled in for Keith.

It all comes down to the dollar amount, what they have to work with,Expenditures,so much is all about business, what's money is comming and whats going out.Maybe thats why they keep the full band at bay, and just use John. IMO

Financing the type of tour that Haley is capable of does not come cheap. Band member salaries, road crew salaries, travel expenses, promotion, etc. I hope it happens but I don't see any sign of it.

Number 5, Kellie Pickler is doing it now. Venues with 200 to 1000 seats where fans are willing to spend $30 to $70 a ticket. Maybe that's not what Haley and/or her management want but I look forward to it. For now she is doing small venues were a full band is usually not affordable. At least she is getting good exposure and maybe that's the primary goal for now.

Indications are that it was the full band: Notto, Leonard, Larkin (LaRoi), and on the fill in: Stairway2Halien said it looked like Lance Tolbert (who filled in for the Glendale/Macy Gray event); it does and would make sense. (He is the bassist for Mariah Carey's band; think he toured with Courtney in the past).
